I'm having a problem with all my u-he plugins where sometimes, when I drag an audio unit in from the live 9 browser, the plugin window doesn't appear and nothing I've been able to figure out gets it to appear. The plugins work in terms of responding to input, or at least zebra2 did with the init patch. This seems to be specific to a particular instantiation of the program -- if I restart live, it might work again, and if it does then I have no problems until I restart live. When I have this problem and load an existing live set already has a u-he plugin in it, the existing plugin windows can be made to appear, and I can actually get a working plugin by copying one of the existing ones.

I've had this problem with zebra2, uhbik, and mfm (I don't own any of the others), only in AU. VST always works. I haven't had this problem with other audio units (in instances of live where I have had this issue, I have tested the apple ones, a few NI synthesizers, fabfilter pro-c, and I think I tested alchemy, so a reasonably broad sample, but by no means exhaustive.)

I'm guessing this must be a live 9 thing, because, well, major live upgrades = weirdness, and I've not had this problem with live 8 (or found any mention of it on ableton's forum or here). However, I should say that I upgraded practically everything at once -- new mac mini with a clean slate user directory, new version of live, current versions of all my plugins that I hadn't updated (on my old computer) in ~6 months or longer, so it is possible the cause might be elsewhere. If it is relevant, I did have live 8 on the computer before upgrading but I had not installed any plugins at all on this computer until after the update.

Edit: os x 10.8.2, 32 bit live.

Anyone have any ideas of workarounds or how to further isolate the problem? It is fairly annoying in virtue of its randomness.
